Ohio State University (Fisher)

Deadline

We process applications on a rolling admissions basis, meaning that we review and evaluate applications as they are submitted to our program rather than waiting until the deadline to begin the review process.? We also award merit-based funding on a rolling basis, so it is to your advantage to apply early, as the availability of specific funding opportunities declines as the application season progresses.?

Please use these recommended deadlines as guidelines for completing your application.? Within two to four weeks of submitting a complete application, including all required supplementary materials, you will hear from the Admissions Committee regarding the outcome of its initial review.?

Our recommended application deadlines for the 2010/2011 application year:

• October 29th *
  * As a reflection of our commitment to action-learning and global experiences as part of our MBA program, individuals who apply by the October 29th deadline, are offered admission to the program and matriculate as students will receive a $1,000 voucher that can be used during their time in the Fisher MBA program to support professional or academic travel (study abroad, elective treks, Emerging Market Field Study, conferences, etc.)
• December 15th ** (priority funding consideration)
  **Applicants who submit by this deadline and are offered admission to the program will automatically be considered for all merit-based funding opportunities available for MBA students.? Some award packages are exclusively reserved for applicants who submit by December 15th, so we encourage you to submit early if funding is a strong consideration in your selection process.
• January 5th
• March 1st
• April 15th?

Applications will be accepted after April 15th on a space available basis.? Please feel free to submit an application after this date, as we will post a message on our website when applications are no longer being accepted for Autumn 2011.

Characteristics Of?A Good Essay

Be genuine. The content and wording should reflect who you are and allow the MBA Admissions Committee to gain insight into your personality and what motivates you.

Be the sole author of your essays. While we encourage you to seek feedback from family, friends, and business colleagues to ensure that your essays capture the essence of who you are, we strongly discourage you from letting their feedback influence the core thought processes that drive this creative exercise.

Provide examples. Making a general statement about who you are or citing your accomplishments is powerful only if you can provide the reader with underlying examples of actions that define your personality or activities that led you to success in a given project or work assignment.

Invest time in writing your essays. Since the MBA Admissions Committee places great emphasis on well-structured, well-written essays that allow them to get a true "feel" for you, essays play an important role in the overall evaluation of an application.

Essay #2: Focusing On Leadership

At the core of our mission is our dedication to developing leaders. Successful leaders have a number of shared characteristics, and we would like you to choose two out of the 10 attributes that best describe you, your leadership style, and/or your leadership successes to date:

Please provide us with clear evidence of your accomplishments for the two chosen attributes. You have three options for doing so:

For example, to illustrate endurance, you might share a copy of your marathon medal, along with a short paragraph describing this experience.

Option 2: You may choose to write an essay for each of the two characteristics you select, describing situations in which you exemplified these leadership traits. Maximum words per essay: 500

Option 3: You may combine options 1 and 2.

* You may send?objects to MBA Admissions, 100 Gerlach Hall, 2108 Neil Ave., Columbus, OH 43210.??Please note that Fisher College will not be responsible for returning physical objects to applicants.

Essay #3: Discovering You

As a Fisher College MBA student, you get the best of both worlds: the up-close and personal feel of a small program combined with the resources and opportunities offered by a major research university. As an individual participant, you will play a key role in shaping our culture. Consequently, we would like to learn more about who you are and the unique characteristics you will contribute to the Fisher College community.

Provide an honest description of yourself outside your professional context, stressing the personal characteristics you believe to be your strengths and weaknesses, along with the factors that have most influenced your development to date.

Maximum words: 750

Some applicants seek the MBA as a career enhancing tool to accelerate advancement in their current field. Career switchers want the MBA to help launch new career paths. UNC Kenan-Flagler recognizes each of these motivations as legitimate reasons to pursue the MBA, and we encourage both types of candidates to apply.

UNC Kenan-Flagler encourages you to assess your known talents and potential skills, understand your personal style, and confirm your values and interests.

Think of the UNC Kenan-Flagler MBA application as a first step toward uncovering the unique attributes and goals that will inform your development plan.
